Foolish Feud Kills Mother and Unborn Child

by

Bobbi Booker and her unborn baby lost their live because of an idiotic game of one-upmanship three days ago.

Police said that Booker, 27 years old, who was four months pregnant, died at 9:20 p.m. Monday at Albert Einstein Medical Center.

Doctors had tried to find a way to save the mother of two and her fetus since Sunday night, when Booker was hit in the side of the head with a stray bullet while her boyfriend, Michael Thomas, traded gunfire with Lamar Johnson, police said.

Thomas, 26 years old, and Johnson, 22 years old, were officially charged yesterday with Booker’s murder and the murder of her unborn baby.

Homicide investigators said that the gunfight, which occurred outside the Queen Lane Apartments in Germantown, was simply an escalation in an ongoing petty feud involving Thomas, Johnson, and several other men.

Thomas used a shotgun during the shoot-out, while Johnson fired shots from a 9-mm handgun, police stated. Homicide Capt. James Clark has said that both men have “lengthy” criminal records.

Book was inside of the apartment building and was apparently hit by a stray bullet from the 9-mm when she walked by a window.
